Debra Evans: What we gain in letting go

“Are we ready to bless our grown children by letting go of whatever holds us back and staying involved where we can be of most benefit, especially in the areas where God is inviting us to trust Him more? Through acknowledging God’s care and guidance over our adult children’s life choices, circumstances, and experiences, we can choose to open our hands and surrender to Him the fears, concerns, and anxieties to which we cling. In exchange, we’ll receive a greater measure of joy and the insight gained in letting go and staying connected.”

Debra Evans in Blessing Your Grown Children: Affirming, Helping, and Establishing Boundaries (Carol Stream: Tyndale, 2012) 73.

We can trust God to provide for our needs and to take care of our grown children. Thankfully, that includes Sammy in his second year at Colorado Christian University and Sophie in her first year at San Diego Christian College. What a great God we serve!
